Ikea as a Video Game
Here's a good extension of my life-as-game notion: David Byrne considers Ikea as a video game. [thnx Alan]
Week before last at Poynter, I was <a href="http://mthomps.com/presentations/fundamentals/">making the case</a> that IKEA's <a href="http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/rooms_ideas/ckl/default.html">Dream Kitchen</a> represented another step in the advancement towards highly spatial interfaces, a progression that's been steadily seeping into the mainstream from the video game world since the introduction of Wolfenstein 3D. (OK, probably well before, but I got to play Wolfenstein 3D in a presentation, so that was fun.)
